This is what happens when people get celebrity status - they pronounce on things that aren't their speciality, nor have they done the research on.<br /><br />The National Academy of Sciences researched 42,000 Sun-like stars of the 100-400 billion stars and found 10 that were the same size of earth and in the same habitable zone as earth. Around 5% of all stars are like our sun, so out of the 100 billion stars in our galaxy, which means 5 billion suns, and of those 1/4200 have an earth-like planet, which gives you over 10 million earth-like planets in our galaxy. Some of these could have incredibly advanced life. Hell, they might even be like the Vulcans in First Contact, that they know we're here, but to them, we're like cockroaches.Tim Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369256383976094670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-16463968473518980252014-10-28T14:18:56.447+00:002014-10-28T14:18:56.447+00:00Why is the European Space Agency trying to make Ro...Why is the European Space Agency trying to make Rosetta space probe link up with comet to see if its carrying signs of life, if the All Knowing One says life started by chance on Earth only?DBC Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891849727783879145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-73038197291653061152014-10-28T12:18:19.264+00:002014-10-28T12:18:19.264+00:00Sackerson, the universe that exists because I do.Sackerson, the universe that exists because I do.View from the Solenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930587784230398787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-612859481634387172014-10-28T08:37:36.055+00:002014-10-28T08:37:36.055+00:00What universe?
